Shafaq ki jheel main jab sang-e-aftab giray

Shafaq ki jheel men jab sang-e-aftaab giray,
Humare ghar pe siyah raat ka azab giray,

Kahin to gardish-e-ayyam thak k saans bhi le,
Kabhi to khaima-e-aflaak ki tanaab giray,

Kisi k raaygan ashkon ka kuchh hisaab to kr,
Falak se youn to sitare bhi be-hisaab giray,

Kahin to silsla-e-intezar khatam bhi ho,
Kisi tarah to ye deewar-e-iztiraab giray,

Ghazal ke roop main wo roobaru jo ho Mohsin,
Labon se lafz urrain haath se kitaab giray….!
